Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2007 Sothebys in Sydney held the auction Important Australian Art, which included the work Australian Bathers by Sydney Long. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of AUD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of AUD 20,400.00 (€ 12,288.89) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sydney Long - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Australian the Milkmaid, which sold at auction in August 2008 for AUD 67,200.00 (€ 39,227.87).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2007 führte Sothebys in Sydney die Auktion Important Australian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Australian Bathers von Sydney Long zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von AUD 20.400,00 (€ 12.288,89) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Sydney Long mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Australian the Milkmaid beobachtet, die im August 2008 für AUD 67.200,00 (€ 39.227,87) versteigert wurde.
